Chapter 422 Another day of missing my silly second brother.
As soon as Xiao Su Bao came out, she saw a pretty face, and the little dumpling was slightly stunned.
"You're awake!" Su Ruanruan leaned closer, her big eyes blinking as she looked at her.
Su Ruanruan is so beautiful, especially her eyes, they seem to speak volumes...
"Hello, Sister Ruanruan!" Little Su Bao stood obediently and greeted Su Ruanruan.
The latter chuckled, revealing eyes like a little fox.
She reached out and picked up the little baby, then said, "Today, your sister will stay by your side and protect you!"
Su Yun's lips twitched slightly. No wonder her cousin asked Xiao Su Bao so many questions!
She rubbed her temples, momentarily at a loss for words.
Fu Manduo, standing to the side, pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"No way, my best friend is mine, and no one can take her away!" Fu Manduo said fiercely, glaring with his round eyes.
However……
"Go away, your Tang Dabao is over there, go play with him, Xiao Su Bao is mine!" Su Ruanruan waved her hand, her voice teasing.
Fu Manduo's cheeks flushed slightly. She bit her lower lip and glared at Su Ruanruan. Sure enough, this Sister Ruanruan was the worst at talking!
But Fu Manduo couldn't help but steal a glance at Tang Dabao, who happened to be walking over.
Tang Dabao stood in front of them, a composed smile on his face.
Fu Manduo is not old, but as the daughter of a prominent family, she naturally knows a lot.
She overheard her grandmother talking to her father about her marriage.
Thinking of this, Fu Mandu, unusually, didn't argue with Su Ruanruan anymore.
Tang Dabao was unaware of Fu Manduo's thoughts, but when he saw the little girl being bullied, he couldn't help but want to help.
He slightly turned his body to the side, directly blocking Su Ruanruan and Xiao Subao, separating the two of them.
"Miss Su is too kind. Our aunt doesn't need your protection. We can protect her ourselves. Also, please don't joke about a girl's reputation! Miss Fu is a very good person!"
Tang Dabao turned his head and looked at Su Ruanruan with a serious expression in his eyes.
Looking at the strange light in his eyes, Fu Manduo felt a softening in her heart.
"Thank you..." she said gently, her face flushing slightly, a rare occurrence for her.
"No need, Aunt Fu, let's go!" Tang Dabao said to Xiao Subao and Fu Manduo.
"My nephew Da Bao is awesome!" Fu Manduo immediately laughed and then made a face at Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
Just then, Bai Yinjun and his group of children arrived. Seeing Su Ruanruan holding Xiao Subao, they rushed over excitedly.
They were all muttering something under their breath.
Su Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of ease in her eyes.
Tang Dabao is so young, yet he has such a strong presence. She felt that facing this group of little guys was not as tiring as facing him.
When the Qian family came out, they saw Su Ruanruan being attacked by a group of people...
She rubbed her temples and coughed lightly.
The children fell silent instantly, and Xiao Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw her mother, it was as if she had seen a savior...
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, Qian suppressed a laugh and picked her up.
“You guys will come along today too, Yin Jun, Da Bao, you're all men, you must protect your sisters… And do you understand, aunts?” Madam Qian instructed.
The little ones all stood up straight and shouted in unison, "Understood!"
The villagers, young and old, all changed into smart clothes, and each of them held a long rolling pin in their hand.
It looks quite neat.
These rolling pins are made of the finest wood; they're something they wouldn't normally use at home.
I only take it out when I'm beating someone up.
The emperor's men have also assembled.
A large group of people left the village.
The entire Tang family compound fell silent, except for Butler Bai, who patrolled the village with a flock of chickens, ducks, and geese.
Behind them followed several little creatures that looked like cats and dogs, but weren't actually either.
Three little bun brothers, and a little white tiger...
Oh, and there's a group of rabbits...
So if anyone comes here, they'll definitely be amazed!
For example, the emperor!
He stared at Butler Bai not far away with a look of surprise in his eyes.
This big white goose can be taken back to the palace; look how majestic it is…
Old Man Hua appeared out of nowhere and squatted down where the emperor was, watching Steward Bai and the others not far away with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I've heard something. Would you like to hear it?" Old Man Hua took out a pipe and lit a whole bowl for himself.
Old Man Hua lit a fire for himself, and seeing that the emperor didn't ask him anything, he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
"Aren't you going to ask?"
He took a puff, his mouth filled with the smell of smoke.
The emperor took two steps back and said with disdain, "My wife isn't in good health, so please stay away from me when you smoke!"
Old man Hua...
"If you don't want to listen, then forget it!" Old Man Hua gave him a resentful look, then turned and left.
The emperor grabbed the old man by the back of his collar: "Alright, speak now, what is it?"
Old Man Hua knew this would be the outcome. He squatted down next to the emperor and whispered, "I've discovered Mr. Tang's painting!"
The emperor frowned, looking at the old man with the same disdain he had shown a fool.
Without giving the old man a chance to speak, they turned and left.
He walked very fast, afraid of being caught up by Old Man Hua.
After all, his wife said she wouldn't let him hang out with people who aren't mentally challenged!
"..."
Old Man Hua's lips twitched, and he hurriedly caught up.
"No, let me explain... no, I mean, let me explain!"
Old Man Hua went to chase after the emperor.
Meanwhile, on the other side, neither the Third Prince nor Chang'an looked well.
They were attacked by a wild animal last night.
If the beast hadn't suddenly tripped and fallen, those people would probably have become its dinner.
"Third brother, why won't you believe me? I'm telling you, I dreamt of a really cute little girl, although I can't remember what she looked like..."
“But I’m sure she’s the little beggar who helped me a long time ago. She saved me and drove away the big black bear!” Chang’an said to his brother.
"Okay!" the Third Prince said perfunctorily.
They had originally planned to go to Lan County, but the Third Prince discovered that someone was chasing them on the official road.
Left with no other choice, the Third Prince had to take Princess Chang'an into the mountains.
But their luck was probably really bad; the guards stayed behind to protect them.
Then, by accident, Princess Chang'an, the Third Prince, and Xiao Hua accidentally fell into a small hole.
When they woke up, it was already dark outside.
They called for a long time but no one came; instead, they attracted the wolves.
The third prince could only lead Chang'an to find a way out, and fortunately, the small cave still had an exit.
As soon as the group came out, they saw a vast expanse of flowers.
They were also exhausted and could only temporarily stay in the sea of flowers.
So the three children went to sleep!
Actually, the Third Prince came here to keep watch at night, but he was too tired and accidentally fell asleep with him.
When he heard Chang'an's cries for help, he looked over and saw a large black bear lying to the side.
Chang'an was carrying an axe and looked fierce!
The big black bear turned and ran away, looking as if it had been frightened.
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you!"
Chang'an didn't want to talk to her brother anymore, and she turned her head to indicate that she didn't want to see him for the time being.
"Alright, let's pack up and figure out a way to get out of here." The Third Prince breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that his sister had finally stopped talking.
Xiao Hua looked at the two people in a daze. Just as she was about to speak, she fell down, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
"Xiao Hua, wake up!" Chang'an rushed over and picked up Xiao Hua.
The Third Prince's brows furrowed as well.
"Third Brother, Xiaohua has fainted, what should we do?" Princess Chang'an was a little panicked.
Xiaohua practically grew up with her; they weren't like sisters, but they were even closer than sisters.
If it weren't for Xiao Hua, Princess Chang'an felt she wouldn't have been able to make it through the journey.
But now...
"It's alright, don't worry, let me take a look first!" The Third Prince walked over. Fortunately, he had learned some basic medical skills just in case.
He looked into Xiaohua's eyes and then felt her pulse.
“She’s too tired…” The Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Princess Chang’an.
Just then, Princess Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she too fainted...
The Third Prince frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes, and quickly picked up Chang'an as well.
They ate something yesterday at noon, and the girls must be tired and hungry by now, which is why they are like this!
But the Third Prince didn't know that there had been times when their treatment was even worse than it was now.
But at that time, the two girls were fine. They were always worried about being harmed, so they didn't relax. Once they relaxed, Xiaohua couldn't hold on any longer.
"Alright, let's find a place for you to rest first. I need to get some food!" the Third Prince muttered to himself.
He dared not leave Xiaohua alone, so he could only support the two little girls, one on each side.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the Third Prince saw a small river, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Looking at the two girls in his arms, the Third Prince placed them on a nearby rock, then went to wash his face...
"Ouch, it's hot...it's so hot..." Princess Chang'an stood up instantly in pain, and helped Xiao Hua up as well.
The little girl turned her head and looked at her third brother with a wronged expression.
Sure enough, the third brother was the most annoying, and actually threw his dear sister onto the scalding hot stone.
Does he want to eat roasted meat?
What about the sibling bond?
"If you pretend to faint again next time, I'll throw you into the river!" the Third Prince said calmly, glancing at his sister out of the corner of his eye.
Princess Chang'an pursed her lips and carefully settled Xiao Hua aside.
“I was faking it, Xiao Hua wasn’t!” Princess Chang’an couldn’t help but mutter.
However, she accidentally bumped into the spot where Xiaohua was lying.
It's lukewarm, neither hot nor cold!
Third Brother is the worst!
Princess Chang'an wasn't entirely faking it; she was genuine at first, but she accidentally woke up halfway there.
But she just didn't want to move, so she pretended to faint.
"Wash your face and get ready, I'm going to catch two fish!" the Third Prince said to Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an's eyes lit up immediately.
Their third brother is really good at catching fish!
When they were little, the fish in the lake in the Imperial Garden were all secretly caught and eaten by the siblings.
Princess Chang'an was not spoiled at all. She believed the little beggar's words and had been learning various skills over the past two years.
The only skill she could never learn was medicine.
The little girl found two sticks and planned to start a fire by rubbing them together...
"I have a flint and steel!" Seeing his fourth sister's silly look, the third prince curled his lips and said to her.
Seeing her hands rubbed raw and red, Princess Chang'an became even more unhappy!
With a cold expression, she snatched the flint and steel and started a fire.
Just as they were starting a fire, Xiao Su Bao and the others also went up the mountain.
"There are wolves on this mountain, everyone be careful!" Qian Shi warned from the side.
The villagers all nodded in agreement.
None of the royal guards spoke; they followed behind the group and then slowly dispersed.
Little Su Bao raised her eyes and looked into the distance.
Just then, the little dumpling smelled a faint fragrance.
The smell was just like something I'd smelled in my dream.
Little Su Bao twitched her nose and carefully examined it.
"Mother...this way!"
Little Su Bao wrapped her arms around Qian Shi's neck and whispered in her ear.
Madam Qian pretended that nothing had happened, and her son and grandson had already separated Su Ruanruan and the others.
Even Fu Manduo and Su Yun pulled Su Ruanruan along, and also stopped Luo Erpi.
Luo Erpi was just fat, not really stupid. He couldn't help but be a little suspicious as he watched the Qian family and the others walk forward with a purpose.
But he's not stupid; it's best not to ask such questions.
There was something strange about this village. He didn't know the identities of the emperor and empress, but he could recognize that the people following behind them were soldiers.
Their eyes and movements are different from ordinary people. Even if they wear the same clothes, their habits cannot be changed overnight.
Luo Erpi sighed and looked at Su Ruanruan and Su Yun.
The two seemed to sense something and immediately took off running.
Luo Erpi...
His mother said he was too unlucky and would have a hard time finding a wife. He just wanted to cast a wide net and catch more fish!
Anyway, his family can afford to support him, so he must treat his wife very well!
Of course, it's best for the legal wife!
"Wife, listen to me, my mother said to wait for me..." He had just started to speak when his foot slipped and he fell down!
But getting married is a big deal, how can we just give up like this!
If you're a little thick-skinned and nice to the girls, you'll definitely find a wife!
He clenched his fists, trying to encourage himself while glancing at the other girls.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Su Daya and Tang Xin.
These two little girls are nice, they have a lot of energy...
Look at that little girl, how skillfully she pulls the boy's ear! She should keep doing that...
She'll definitely be a good wife in the future!
And this one, although a little shy, is incredibly tenacious!
Both are good, both are good!
Bai Yinjun happened to see Tang Xin's bright red eyes, reached out and grabbed her hand, tucking the girl behind his back.
He also glared fiercely at Luo Erpi.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Bai Yinjun roared fiercely.
Luo Erpi paused, then rubbed his nose!
Never mind, this flower already has an owner...
Then let's have that little flower!
A girl from a modest family is also nice!
If all else fails, any girl will do.
"Young lady, how old are you this year? Are you married? Do you mind...?"
Su Daya was startled, her face turning pale instantly. Just then, Tang Erbao stepped in front of her.
What are you doing?
Tang Erbao wasn't as composed as Dabao, nor as lively as Sanbao, so his presence was slightly less noticeable on ordinary days.
But he's not bad either!
"I didn't do anything..." Luo Erpi took a step back and muttered to himself.
Seeing their wary expressions, Luo Erpi scratched his head and sighed.
All I want is to find a wife, why is it so difficult?
"Why……"
Luo Erpi sighed softly, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of clear eyes.
When Xiao Su Bao saw Luo Er Pi looking at her, she immediately looked away.
This older brother... doesn't have a single red thread tied around him, so he can't be bound...
They can't be tied up at all!
Little Su Bao was so scared that she didn't dare to speak.
Luo Erpi...
He touched his face, feeling utterly miserable.
"Do I look ugly?" Luo Erpi turned his head and asked the servant in a sullen voice.
The servant was taken aback, looked at it carefully, and then nodded honestly.
Luo Erpi...
I've just gained a little weight, why am I not pretty?
Fat people can be cute too, okay?
"Young master, your hair is almost all gone!"
Seeing Luo Erpi's expression, the servant guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but whisper something to him.
Luo Erpi's lips twitched, and he reached up to touch his head, quickly ruffling it and accidentally pulling out two more of his sparse hairs...
He was so distressed that he almost jumped up, but the servant pulled him back, preventing him from truly losing face.
As the group walked up the mountain, the Third Prince and his entourage had already started grilling fish.
only……
Princess Chang'an fell silent as she looked at the blackened fish.
"Third brother, your fish... is grilled quite well, don't grill it next time!" Princess Chang'an paused, then looked at her third brother and said quietly.
The Third Prince frowned, looking at his own grilled fish, then at the grilled fish in his sister's and Xiao Hua's hands.
My own fish was pitch black, while the fish that Chang'an and Xiaohua grilled, though not exactly delicious or visually appealing, was at least presentable.
Xiao Hua, in particular, also got some salted fruit and wild onions.
Spreading these ingredients on the fish meat enhances the aroma.
"Okay, I'll eat yours!" The Third Prince was quite straightforward, reaching out to take the grilled fish from Chang'an's hand.
Princess Chang'an...
Third brother is definitely the most annoying!
Another day of missing my silly second brother!
"Eat quickly, then we'll figure out how to get out of here!" The Third Prince ate his grilled fish, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
If there is any danger, he will send his sister away even if it means getting injured himself.
They have many sons, but only one daughter, whom he sometimes teases a little...
"Understood!" Princess Chang'an was used to it, and silently picked up another fish she was grilling and started to turn it over.
The third prince ate one fish, and gave the remaining four fish to the two of them.
Princess Chang'an ate one and a half fish, Xiao Hua finished off the rest, and even ate the burnt fish that the Third Prince had grilled...
"Just keep spoiling that girl!" The Third Prince led Chang'an a little further away before turning back to look at Xiao Hua, who was tidying up the fire, and then turned to Princess Chang'an.
Xiaohua happily packed her things, her eyes crinkling with joy.
"Hehe, Third Brother, you're saying that, but you're still not full... Besides, if I don't pamper my maid, someone else will!" Princess Chang'an snorted.
As they turned around, Xiaohua looked up at them, her clear eyes filled with gratitude.
Sure enough, her princess is the best person!
She will definitely tell the princess next time that the second prince is actually very cunning, so that she won't be fooled by him!
"Hey, Third Brother, look at this! It looks like ginseng!" Princess Chang'an exclaimed excitedly as she ran over.
The Third Prince...
Well, the fourth brother has always been lucky!
With no one chasing them, the brother and sister were no longer as nervous as before.
